Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.2 yesterday, 5.1 today

Was a slob yesterday evening and ate strips of hot turkey leg dipped in mayonnaise while watching TV. Mmmm! I buy lots of spare turkey legs after Christmas (people buying crowns and not wanting the legs) and freeze them; 2 good meals on a turkey leg!

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

6 today, will do nicely considering a little over indulgance.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.1 this morning, seems to be around that mark 99% of the time
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.1 this morning.

Just had a cheese and onion roll. Wonder what that will do.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.1 fasting
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Mine is 15.6 at the moment (after 15 hour fast) I did get it down to 10.8 a couple of months ago but my body is rebelling now and it is just rocketing again. Non fasting I am reaching 24+.

Needless to say I am not very well controlled yet! Was diagnosed in august, and I do not have a high sugar or carb diet.

Heres hoping the gliclazide does some good, because metformin alone isnt and I really really dont want to end up insulin dependant.

Only 7.5 fasting.Wish you all the best.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.2 this morning, not very well at all. 1 slice of Burgen and half a tin of Tomato soup in over 24 hours

It's such a baffling disease at times.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn



Wow Stephie, that really is high. When I was diagnosed I was on 8, that was a year ago. Now my FBS is generally in the early 5's. If I eat 'right', I can get the 4's on a fasting. Have you tried cutting all carbs for a while, just to get some control.
All the whites. flour, breads, pasta, rice, potatoes, juices ens. I do have a little LC fruit. But I am careful with fruit.
It just seems terribly high those numbers to me.

7.3 this fasting
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

8.9 this morning, note to self Pizza is really not a good idea. 6 two hours after Brekkie and metformin
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.5 this morning.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Having slept from 12pm last night to 2.45pm today ... (I really was tired) ... my FBG on waking was 6.1 with Codefree, which is the lowest FBG I've ever had so far. As codefree readings are high it's probably 5.1 in real terms.

Hi pebbles,

Welcome to the forum.
I see your profile states you are a Type2 on insulin.
If you make a new post and introduce yourself and tell us if you have any other health problems and what you normally eat, we will try and help you get those levels down.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

My morning bloods are between 5 - 7.5

Not sure why it changes so much as I eat a similar meal each night :roll:
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.1 this morning with Codefree so that's probably 6.1
